Checking roofs, clearing drains and using sand for gritting
On this occasion, it is important to remind homeowners to clear icicles and snow from their roofs today. This is because, in these difficult weather conditions, people can be in danger from falling snow and ice. In such conditions, significant property damage can also occur.

As is well known, such water damage can cause considerable property damage, which in many cases is preventable. It is also worth pointing out that if people use grit to prevent slipping around their property, it is advisable to use grit rather than salt.
